Niantic's AR games have a knack for getting players out and about, but the latest update for Pikmin Bloom might just take the cake for the most unusual yet. The new feature introduces Pasta Decor Pikmin, and to find their seedlings, you'll need to visit your local Italian restaurant. No, this isn't a ploy to boost restaurant visits; it's genuinely about bringing a fresh twist to the game.
Imagine Pikmin adorned with all kinds of pasta, from the well-known to the delightfully obscure. It's a quirky concept that's bound to draw players out, intrigued by the novelty of pasta-themed companions. While it's an odd way to encourage outdoor activity, its sheer uniqueness is likely to be a hit.
Boy, this stuff is good
The effectiveness of this update might hinge on its strangeness, and I must confess, I'm puzzled about how such an idea came to be. Italian eateries might see increased foot traffic, which could be a welcome boost, assuming they don't mind the extra crowds.
To start your pasta-themed adventure, make sure to update your Pikmin Bloom app. It's a small step for a big reward—discovering these unique Pasta Decor Pikmin. So, lace up your shoes and head out to your nearest Italian deli to find those seedlings!
